Abstract: According to one embodiment, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes an amplifier, a gradient coil, and adjusting circuitry. The amplifier includes pulse width modulation circuitry modulating a pulse width of a driving signal, which is input to switching elements, in accordance with an input of a control signal corresponding to a waveform of a gradient magnetic field. The gradient coil generates the gradient magnetic field by an electric current supplied in accordance with an output voltage which is output from the amplifier. The adjusting circuitry executes adjustment of a gain of the amplifier, which is included in the control signal, or adjustment of the pulse width of the driving signal, in accordance with a dead time included in a switching cycle of the switching elements.
